|summary=Lois Meade leads a busy life. As if running her own cleaning company isn't sufficient she can never resist doing a bit of ''ferretin' '' when something strange happens in the village of Long Farnden. She's so good that local police inspector Hunter Cowgill is only too pleased to involve her as his assistant. Mind you, it probably helps that Cowgill is very fond of Lois and his nephew (also a policeman) is married to Lois' daughter, Josie. This time, local zookeeper, Robert Pettinson and his nephew, Justin Brookes are involved in trading endangered animals and they'd prefer that Lois and her family kept their noses out of their business.

|title=A Man of Sorrows: An Inspector Carlyle Novel
|rating=3.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=Inspector John Carlyle has a lot on his plate. His attack on a paedophile priest left Father McGowan injured and angry and Carlyle in a vulnerable position. The fact that the Pope is due to visit ups the political pressure and brings Carlyle into conflict with his old nemesis, Christian Holyrod, the Mayor of London. Then there's the armed robbery at a very upmarket Mayfair jeweller when tens of millions of pounds worth of stock goes missing - along with one of the assistants. Normally he'd have had some support from his boss, but she's on secondment in Canada and the man replacing her has great hopes for Carlyle - mainly that he can get him dismissed. Then Carlyle's wife has a serious health scare and his daughter is growing up ''very'' fast.
